Common questions.
Can I import scraped content?
Only when you own it or have clear permission to copy and publish it. A public page is not automatically reusable.
Should imports publish immediately?
Draft or Pending is safer until fields, media, ownership and duplicates have been reviewed.
When does an import require Pro?
Use Pro when a draft received through the connected Chrome extension needs AI-assisted rewriting or enrichment.
